There was a "shot" let's call it that Cees has now and is converting it into a Manchester and that's what I was basing my concerns on. I hope the new kit is ok but look how the rivet counters picked apart the B-17, but for 1 here I am more than happy with what will be produced after attempting the only other 32nd Lanc that was a vacform :fight: and it fought all the way .

That was indeed a 3d printed model devoid of any surfacedetail. But is was pretty much the final shape apart from the engine nacelles which were not approved by the lsm team. This has since been addressed. You have all seen the renderings last year. This will be one very nice kit. Not perfect as such a kit does not exist.

on a side note, and not meaning to hijack the thread, but with regards to the Dambuster conversion, did you guys know that the Museum crew at Nanton Alberta, is in the process of converting the real Lancaster FM159 to a Dambuster ( replica) , they have removed the top mid upper gun turret, and taken the bomb doors off already , and from what I heard they have an Upkeep 'on order'.....the aircraft is coded AJ*M...... they said it is going to be the ONLY one in the world converted to the Dambuster specs........ pretty cool, I'd say.... it is the 75th anniversary after all......
